Safiullah is such an inspiration to current and future job seekers. With the motivation and dedication within him, Safiullah has been able to secure a job as a project civil engineer for Amalgamated Sugar Company.

He is beyond thankful for the Global Talent team that recognized his great talent and came alongside him in training to help get him to where he is today.

Safiullah’s go-getter attitude can be seen through this simple quote that he left me with “I will not stop until I achieve what I set my mind to do. You haven’t reached your capacity yet and can always do more.”

I am Talent – Global Talent

Joel was just 18 years old when his security was in jeopardy, and he was forced to leave behind the Democratic Republic of the Congo and his sister. At this time, Joel knew little of the United States, and had never heard of a place called Idaho. Nevertheless, today he has become an integral part of the Boise community.

Back in his homeland, Joel was a highly educated individual who after receiving a bachelor’s degree in French and Media Studies and a Masters in French went on to become a teaching assistant at University of Cape Town. Now, nearly 8,000 miles away, he is able to use his expertise as the Coordinator for the IOR Refugee Speakers Bureau.

His journey from uncertainty to stability is a testament to the resilience and talent of many refugees. “People who are coming to Global Talent are already talented people,” he says. With the right support and opportunities, they too can rebuild their lives and contribute meaningfully to their new communities, just as he has.

Trump administration pauses some green card applications as part of aggressive vetting effort The Trump administration has quietly paused the processing of green card applications filed by certain individuals, including approved refugees.

For the past two months, there have been drastic changes in our country and the field of humanitarian service. As a result, there is a dire need to remain encouraged and educated through this time. To learn more about how the executive order has impacted the Idaho resettlement community, read this article by Coeur d' Alene Press.

Executive order to pause refugee resettlement in Idaho An executive order issued on Monday by President Donald Trump will suspend the arrival of refugees into the U.S. for at least 90 days.

Global Talent's mission is to support new Americans in reclaiming and advancing their careers in Idaho. The Global Talent Employer Engagement Program partners with resettlement agencies and employers statewide to provide professional development and advanced English skills, empowering new Americans to succeed in the workplace. On January 14, we visited Twin Falls to engage with local employers.

Did you know that 1 out of 5 college-educated immigrants and refugees in Idaho is currently unemployed or underemployed? Though highly educated newcomers have years of experience working in in-demand industries, many face barriers to professional employment.

That’s where Global Talent comes in. We equip New American professionals with the skills and resources needed to rebuild their careers in the U.S. and connect local employers with this untapped talent pool.

Your support makes a difference. Together, we can create a future where every individual can fully contribute their skills and expertise, restoring hope and dignity while energizing our economy.
